 Re: getting the/a garden view room
No. "The" indicates shared information - ie information known to both speaker and listener. So, eg if you knew that the hotel only had one room with a sea view (an obviously the staff would know that too) you might say :
I'd like to have the room with the sea view
In other words, you're saying "I know that you know which room I'm talking about".
But when there are lots of rooms with a sea view, so you're not referring to a specific one, and therefore there is no shared info, you'd say :
I'd like a room with a sea view. |
